The 25th Anniversary of 9/11
ListenedOn today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (09/11/26), Hank recalls one of the most epic events in American history that took place 25 years ago—the Manhattan massacre of September 11, 2001. And yet in those 25 years, we have largely become complacent to the Islamic terrorism that spawned its devastation. Some have forgotten, and others are blithely unaware of the reality that Islam is the only significant religious system in the history of the human race with a socio-political structure of laws that mandate violence against the infidel. And that this graphic global reality makes Islam a religious ideology espousing terrorism as a permanent policy rather than a temporary expedient. Tragically, the current narrative is that to tell the truth in this regard is tantamount to radicalizing Muslims and exacerbating hostilities that might otherwise lie dormant. That narrative is, of course, patently false. We are at a tipping point in history. While squarely in the blind spot of the West, Christians in the Middle East…

Labor Day 2026
ListenedOn today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (09/07/26), Hank wishes all of you a happy Labor Day and details the Labor Day holiday that God gave us long before the government did—our Sabbath Day rest. Just as we rest today on Labor Day, the Lord commands us to rest on the Sabbath each week. “Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do” (Deut. 5:13-14 NIV). So our Labor Day holiday according to God is our Sabbath Day rest, which begs the question: why do Christians rest from their labor on the first day of the week (Sunday), rather than the last day of the week (Saturday)? The answer, says Hank, is encapsulated in just one word—resurrection. Hank also discusses something else that comes to his mind when he…

ListenedOn today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares on how Christians disagree on the way to interpret Genesis 1-2; however, they agree on three essentials: The inspiration of the Scriptures, creation ex nihilo (out of nothing) as opposed to Darwinian evolution, they hold to Adam and Eve being created in God’s image rather than fictional exemplars of primitive humanity.
